Format of Format Information

For details of each field, refer to the linked explanation.

The following are notes about 'Field Name in Management Information Reference' in the table:

• A field with (*1) is used during distribution by the Collecting and Distributing System Management Information function. Refer to Fields that are Used during Distribution below the table.
• A field with (*2) is not currently used in HULFT-HUB.
